It's pretty simple: this has to be wreaking havoc with Adsense - depleting ad budgets, artificially inflating CTRs, and giving website owners revenue they didn't earn. This extension also exposes website owners to unfair Adsense bans for generating high numbers of invalid clicks, which can cost them two months of revenue that is almost always withheld when Google bans a site. So by using this you could be costing someone (your favorite blogger etc.) their livelihood.

If you are going to block ads, block them. Don't click on them.

Were there really enough people using this to cause such an impact?

I don't know, but I certainly wouldn't want to be a favorite site of even one AdNauseum user. Adsense is very sensitive to stuff like this, especially in higher CPC niches.

Why not? On the short term, you get more income from ad revenue. Who knows what the effect on the long term is going to be.

You would be banned - very fast. You would never actually receive the money since Adsense pays out on a two month delay. They are very good at identifying this type of activity and the webmaster is the one that pays the price.

Well, if that’s true, within of months, half of websites will have to search for a new ad network, and we might get a chance at less intrusive ads.
